The Chicago chapter is forming

Nobody has joined yet, so you could be first. The first meet-up is set once 10 founding members and a host sign up.

A professional community for electricians, plumbers, carpenters, welders, mechanics and builders in your city. Meet peers outside work, find mentors, share opportunities and keep learning. Members can also give back to their city, for example through repair days for elderly residents and community centres, done by qualified tradespeople.

  • Mentoring between senior and junior members
  • Talks on changes in the profession

Your first meet-up

  • Someone meets you. A welcome buddy greets first-timers and makes introductions.
  • Pick your level. Groups are split by experience so you're never out of your depth.
  • What to bring. Business cards are optional. Come as you are, straight from work is fine.
  • Safe and friendly. Every meet-up has a named host and follows our code of conduct.
